Bilt guitars are all handmade in the USA and have an excellent reputation. This particular one is a gorgeous guitar, similar to a semi-hollow Jazzmaster. It has a roasted alder body and Lollar Rayo pick-ups which sound fabulous with a real bite. It is set up perfectly and looks wonderful in a kind of sonic blue/grey finish.

I bought this new from Coda Music a couple of months ago and it is absolutely wonderful. It is still in as new condition, having been admired much more than played.

As you can see, this particular guitar was a show guitar for Gibson at their NAMM 2020 Show. It was featured and reviewed in Guitar Magazine, a copy of which is included in the case, along with the Certificate and all the other case candy. 

Spec-wise, it has a solid mahogany body and neck. The pickups are Alnico Vs. Gibson describe the neck shape as an authentic slim 65 C shape. The fingerboard is a gorgeous Indian rosewood.

It plays as good as it looks. No issues at all.

£3,575 SOLD
